Abstract

HERRERO, Alejandro. An approach to rural schools: The “great forgotten” of the Argentine public education system, 1882-1960. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, pp.1-16. ISSN 1851-9490.

The study of the History of Education has been neglected in argentine historiography. In these last two decades, research has multiplied, however, we know little about rural schools. In this chapter, we will analyze official sources from the National Education Council, in order to analyze what is the diagnosis and the problems that they pointed out about the campaign´s schools and what we their responses. Our hypothesis is that even in 1960 the objectives demanded in the education laws for rural areas are far from being fulfilled, and illiteracy continues to be a drama without solution. Inscribed in the history of ideas, this study analyzes speeches, reports, and communications to conferences, reproduced by the CNE´s dissemination organ. I have specialized in normalism and the rural venues I had always left for another time. It is, in my case, to open a new line of work, for that reason I have decided to make a panoramic and exploratory inquiry.

Keywords : Rural Schools; Illiteracy; Argentina; Government; Politics.
